I'll try to make it out--will be watching an illegal stream though, so the chat kind of spoils things. Funny--the NFL didn't take that into account when they said they were looking into ways to bring back suspense to the picks.

Re: Who will be in the chat room for round 1?

Tell you what, unless there is a trade it is going to be weird having to wait so long to make our first pick of the draft - and that is a great thing.

Right, well just get to discuss the slowly narrowing list of players we want (to potentially 0 if the drafts goes all wrong for the leos) while making fun of teams that reach for players like Tyson Alalu (or however you spell his name).

I just wanted to vent for a minute:

I can't stand the new draft format. There just isn't enough on day one. It's round 1 and a TON of speculation. I hate it. There isn't enough that actually happens to be "news worthy" so those draft idiots just spout on and on about "sleepers" and fallen prospects. It's annoying.

I get it, but there's flat out not enough going on for day 1, and the only reason they switched it around was so the league could drag it out for three days, and then dominate the news day Sunday. The move was nothing but league bullying and it shows and doesn't play out well at all. It's just annoying. They're taking a good product and watering it down via typical corporate America, but just like corporate America they're taking it too far and its having a negative effect on the product being thrown out there.

IN truth, the only thing different is the time between picks, and the day of the week it takes place. The first round was more drawn out in the past with the 15 minutes between picks, and as such was far more boring. I think the new format is better, because it actually cuts down on the level of discussion and speculation between picks. It's not like none of that was taking place before the format change. So, I really don't know where all the hate comes from....other than that is your natural state, it seems.
